Sync ignores quality settings

[hellothere 0]

Hi there

 

 

I am a big fan of Emby but unfortunately, the sync function has issues recently.

This Problem has persisted over the last couple of versions, currently I'm running 3.4.1

 

Whenever I start a sync job (directly to a device or FolderSync), it straight out ignores whatever quality I choose and copies the video stream.

 

I am running Emby in a Linux docker container without HW acceleration, transcoding works without issues (on the same files).

 

Edit: I added a debug log output but didn't update the transcoding log, it is however identical.

Any ideas what could cause this?

 

Thanks

Hi, I'm not able to reproduce this. I would suggest trying again with the next release as something may have been fixed along the way. Thanks !
